Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.
